What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and innovation in medical research.

I am a dedicated MD PhD with over 10 years of research experience in both experimental and clinical settings. My journey has taken me through various roles, including medical resident in Orthopaedics and Traumatology at Careggi University Hospital, where I am responsible for comprehensive patient care and actively participate in surgeries. My commitment to advancing medical knowledge is evident in my role as an Assistant Professor at the University of Florence, where I create research plans, mentor PhD students, and publish findings in reputable journals.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong foundation in data analysis and algorithm development using Python and Matlab, which has enhanced my research capabilities. I have successfully managed research projects, prepared grant proposals, and delivered lectures across multiple disciplines, focusing on neuroanatomy, motor control, and skill acquisition. My collaborative spirit has allowed me to design cross-disciplinary courses and engage students in practical problem-solving scenarios, fostering a rich learning environment.
